About this guide

This guide provides information about installing, using, and maintaining the

QuantStudio™ 1 Real-Time PCR System. For information and instructions on

performing experiments on this system, refer to QuantStudio™ Design and Analysis

Desktop Software User Guide (Pub. No. MAN0010408).

Instrument hardware description

The QuantStudio™ 1 Real-Time PCR System uses uorescence-based polymerase

chain reaction (PCR) reagents to perform the following types of experiments.

• Quantitative detection of target nucleic acid sequences (targets).

• Qualitative detection of targets.

• Qualitative analysis of the PCR product.

For more information, see “Experiment types“ on page 18.

The instrument is congured with a 96-well 0.2-mL xed block and a 3-color coupled

lter set.

The instrument can be run directly from the touchscreen to create and start

experiments. To design experiments or to analyze data, the instrument can be

integrated with the QuantStudio™ Design and Analysis Software.

An optional barcode scanner and optional wireless adapter can be ordered separately.

System dyes

The instrument use a coupled three-color lter set that supports the dyes shown in the

following table and gure. For more information about available spectral dye

[2] The HEX™and TET™dyes from Thermo Fisher Scientific fall within the emission wavelength range of the

system, therefore they can be added and adapted for use on the instrument.

Custom dyes

The instrument can run assays designed with custom dyes. Custom dyes include the

following:

• Dyes that are not supplied by Thermo Fisher Scientic.

• Dyes or formulations of dyes that are not system dyes for the instrument.

To use a custom dye on the instrument, review the following requirements.

• Calibrate the instrument for the custom dye (see “Calibrate custom dyes“ on

page 62).

• Ensure that the custom dye excites and emits within the wavelength range of the

lters (see the lter-wavelength table in “System dyes“).

• Select a custom dye that does not overlap with other dyes used in the run (see the

lter-wavelength table in “System dyes“).
